Lions at Alouettes, Game Day Thread, November 22, 2009

Baltimore was built from the ground up, an expansion team no less, and even with relocating to Montreal and being "forced" to add Canadians to their roster they've been the most successful CFL franchise over the past 15 years. It's quite remarkable that they have never really had a "rebuilding" year in their franchise history.

And I'm saying that wouldn't be the case if they had relocated Memphis or Shreveport (or been a pure expansion team in Montreal with no fan support), rather than Baltimore.

Kind of like how the Phoenix Coyotes haven't been the Colorado Avalanche. Sports teams evolve organically, and beginnings make a huuuuuuuge difference.

...and god, I hate Black so much. If the Team feed wouldn't be so far out of sync, I'd turn off the sound on the TV and listen to the radio.

This will be his last telecast this year. I doubt we would be hearing him next week at the Grey Cup

Maybe so, but we'll still have to listen to that ignorant a-hole next year.

[TheLionKing]

Now we try a screen pass. Great call Chap

[PigSkin_53]

This games a bad joke on the Lions

[hwgill]

That's it, I can't watch this anymore...

I'm definitely dropping my extra two tix for next year.

[The_Pauser]

How long before heads roll? I say leave our coordinators in Montreal...

[The_Pauser]

This is classless...just clasless act by Trestman.

[hwgill]

Trestmen is really being an a-hole now, now I AM going to cheer for whichever western team makes it next week. I can't stand a guy that pulls that *poop*.

[TheLionKing]

Is a challenge really necessary at this point ? I hope someone ask Trestman about this after the game.

[Lion_Pride_26]

Why the hell is Trestman challenging this? He's up 49-18 and he wants the refs to rule it a fumble return for a touchdown? What a *frig* jerk. Talk about adding insult to injury.

[The_Pauser]

I hope we send someone out to injure Calvillo after that *poop* challenge. They're up by 31...what's with that challenge.

Go Riders or Stamps!

In case anyone is wondering, most points by one team in a playoff game is 1992 EF, 59-11 Wpg over Ham.

My mistake, that's the EF record. Playoff record is actually 1996 WSF 68-7 Edm over Wpg.

Go Riders or Stamps!

As classless as that challenge was, it would be just as classless to wish injury upon their best player.

In all fairness to Trestman, he would be the ultimate hypocrite if he doesn't coach to the final whistle when he is telling his players to play to the final whistle.

We've run the Rider fans down here for that sort of crap. And the Hamilton fans just last week who were cheering our injuries.
